This poem came from the novel "Xie Zan Tie Cheng" by Feng Menglong, a writer of the Ming Dynasty. In the novel, the protagonist Xie Zan met an old man while walking in the desert. The old man gave him a pot of wine so that he could comfort his tired body. "I have a pot of wine that can soothe the wind and dust," Xie Zan said after drinking. This sentence expressed his feelings during the journey and his cherishment of life.
